ARENAS/Death match....NOW

I know you didn't mean it this way, but as someone who loves actual world PvP, this sentence makes me sad. :c

Why are people so against arenas? They don't need to be the top tier of pvp like in wow, just something you can do if you like it.

They get mad when I say this but it's an EASY answer.

In WOW if you had a BAD arena rating you were considered a BAD PVP player. Since it was the only ENDGAME PVP for so long. If you think you are a good PVPer but you didn't like or weren't good at ARENAs NO one would listen to your opinion about PVP because you were a BADDIE.

Call someone a BADDIE for long enough and they get angry. Then this ANGER turns on the only thing that it can, ARENAS.

But we are not asking for WOW arenas. We don't need it to give the best gear (Although it will prob be a way to get it) We just want to play with our 2-3 IRL friends and have fun.

They will LIE and say it's because of balance (Which is a joke because ARENAs actually help balance classes and insure there is no OP class) or some other issue they have with it.

But in truth it's all about WOWs fail arena system and that they got picked on a lot.

@ the red: Lies, never once has arena teams been balanced in WoW. Ever.

Arena would mess up class balance like it did in wow. Sure things are balanced in arena (sort of....) but in the other 2 areas of pvp, no. And I guess you have to look at, which of these areas would have more people aka paying customers playing, and I'm guessing it wouldn't be arenas. Other thing is with arena either they'd have to rebalance their classes a lot or they have to make it so you get no extra rewards from doing arena over other forms of pvp because I struggle to see how the average sniper would obtain the shiny new arena set as easily as inquisitor classes.

I do see where the arena guys are coming from though. I am so bored of the same 3 wz and if you are someone who plays in a premade I imagine ordinary wz are even more boring. Illum is heinous.
